Thanks.Nah, I have Bean and my brother watching over the haunt for candles burning down or things getting knocked over. So far no accidents are fires. Though I'm always joking about the tree catching fire so I keep a fire extinguisher right inside the front door, just in case.

Those look great. As you know I've used jars in my displays. I've always wished they had a more weathered look. Now I know what to do to get it.

Sam, the leaves would really have to be resting in the flame to catch. I've used real fire in my displays for years and never had a problem. The leaves also tend to be damper than you'd think in the Fall.

these are absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to make a batch for our event....now I am kicking myself for not buying up the lot of mason jars at the estate sale last weekend... if only I would have seen this a few days sooner... arrrrgh
